Golden Race’s 3D Horses enjoys visual effects transformation

UK licensed virtual sports developer Golden Race has transformed its 3D horse racing product into the “most realistic experience on the market” after updating the graphics and visual effects.

The real backgrounds on 3D Horses, which is created through a hybrid system of Artificial Intelligence and reproduction of real races, have been shot and integrated with the latest cinematographic techniques in real time with virtual 3D horses and jockeys.

Animated muscles and tendons have been used on the surface, something that you would not find in any competing product on the market, while high-resolution 3D scans of both horses and jockeys have been carried out using state-of-the-art 3D scanners.

For the visual appearance of the 3D surface, technically known as ‘PBR Shaders’, a short hair system has been used which gives a very approximate look to the real horse’s coat.

The same motion capture systems (MoCap) used in blockbusters such as ‘Black Panther’, ‘John Carter’ and ‘Paul’ have been used to capture the real horses. The company has also completed motion analysis with high-speed cameras (2000FPS) and real physical effects for improved grass, soil and sand display.

Speaking ahead of the product’s launch in February of this year, Golden Race CEO Martin Wachter said: “Operators and players will be galloping towards victory in 3D with our new horse racing product.

“This is another completely white-label ready solution, complete with fast and data friendly customisations, to accommodate for both a company’s branding and licensing requirements under any regulatory body.”

Referencing the improvements to graphics and visual effects, rolled out at last week’s Betting on Sports conference, he added: “3D Horses has undergone a great transformation. Everything is due to the great improvements carried out at the graphics and visual effects level. Yes, they were already good, but now they are unsurpassable. They offer the most realistic experience in the market!”

Wachter concluded: “After all these improvements, it is more than clear that Golden Race is the best option for your betting shop thanks to its spectacular display of 3D graphics of horse racing that provides a unique experience of real racing.”
